The Asia Piano Companys small family business run by two people, namely Mr Leonard Soh and Chee Wai (call him “Ah Wee” as he is affectionately refered to by friends and relatives. Starting the business from scratch in an old, humble factory warehouse in Hillview Terrace, we have moved to it’s homely showroom in the Singapore Shopping Centre as of May 2003 before. And today, we are located at No. 605A Macpherson Rd #03-07, Citimac Industrial Complex , Singapore 368240.

Our main aim is customer education on pianos (for example, selecting a good piano for yourself, how the piano works, what to look out for in an old piano, servicing the piano and how not to get ripped off.)

We do not intend to upsize our business to the likes of some major music stores but keep it small, quiet and simple. A great advantage of doing this is that we can concentrate more on the needs of the customer. You may not splurge on an expensive high end european piano, but buying any kind of piano is still a sum of money by the thousands and it is of utmost importance that we as a team, help you select the best piano that will suit your needs, likes, and budget. Do browse our webpage, which will describe our various products, services and education facilities, described in detail of course; Lots of text so make sure you stare at the greenery outside your window as recommended after reading this for a substantial amount of time! 🙂 Enjoy your stay!

WHO ARE WE?

Leonard Soh

Master Artisan/Piano Consultant

Soh Chee Wai (Wee)

Piano Consultant

Leonard Soh Eng Kiat is a Master Piano Technician and Piano Consultant who formerly served with Yamaha where he tuned and serviced nearly 5 pianos a day for over 20 years! Having trained at the Yamaha Piano production factory under the watchful eye of master piano artisans in Hamamatsu, Japan, he has since had lots of experience in tuning and servicing various kinds of pianos, ranging from the smallest of spinets (hard to service because of it’s “hidden” piano action) to the mammoth concert grands of today.

Tuning and servicing a piano isn’t just a laborious layman job, but an elevated artform and an exacting science that has to come into perfect balance, and not to mention lots of patience! Leonard realises this and treats every piano he services with loving care, going towards what the customer wants, and this is what makes him stand out from the crowd of piano tuners. Being a strong headed person, he was also responsible for the miniscule revolution in the Yamaha Technical Service Centre quite a while ago, where he managed to persuade the manager there to revise the payment scheme towards piano technicians serving with the Service Centre, thereby enabling Piano Technicians to earn nearly 5 times their regular monthly income of what was previously around $850 for newbies. Where most business minded piano companies in Singapore refuse you when there is a piano in need of some attention, be it major or minor, Leonard is your man, and he is one of the few piano technicians in this region that will swiftly get the job done to the highest of standards. Below are his interviews published in the papers before. (Click on them for larger view.)
